Eugene, Ore.— Lucas Coutinho and Valentin Popescu claimed a win in doubles, but Idaho (0-1, 0-0 Big Sky) could not hold back the Ducks (1-0, 0-0 Pac-12) as the Vandals dropped season opener, 7-0.
"I felt like we competed with good effort," head coach Daniel Hangstefer said. "It was nice to see Val [Popescu] and Lucas [Coutinho] get a win at No. 2 doubles. We were able to take away some very valuable lessons that we plan to implement into practice over the next few weeks. I am optimistic and excited to see this team compete for the spring semester.
